Sealants for children's teeth

Sealants that is a plastic resin material that is used on the top surfaces of permanent teeth as they come in.
Children at around age six, start to need sealants. When the teeth have significant groves in them, they are covered up by this plastic material. It has been researched and noted that 100 percent of decay the top surfaces of the teeth can properly be eliminated by the properly sealing the teeth.
The materials are either clear or tooth colored. They are easy to place. When the second molars come in at around age 12, then you seal the back molars too. This is one of the very best preventative measures that you can do to protect your child against decay on the tops of the teeth. It does not protect between the teeth, so that's where flossing becomes pretty critical for them.
